Implications of hypervitaminosis A on the calcium-phosphate metabolism and on blood lipids in hemodialysis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Inflammation and increased erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESA) requirement are frequently associated in patients on dialysis. On-line hemodiafiltration (ol-HDF), putting together high levels of diffusion, and convection could improve both conditions. However, it is still not known which depurative compon...
